Rafał Leśkiewicz recently announced on social media that President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, will not attend the inaugural meeting of the Peace Council in Washington. Instead, he will be represented by the Head of the International Policy Bureau, Minister Marcin Przydacz. Nawrocki had previously stated that a decision regarding his potential attendance had not yet been made, indicating ongoing discussions with European leaders and U.S. officials regarding Poland’s international stance.

In an interview with Polsat News, President Nawrocki highlighted the benefits that Poland could gain by being a part of the Peace Council, asserting that Poland could act as the voice of the entire region. He mentioned the importance of being present and influential in such international fora, while also engaging in dialogue with key Western leaders. The discussions surrounding his attendance reflect Poland's growing role in international politics, particularly in the context of security and cooperation with other nations.

Furthermore, Nawrocki emphasized that, according to Polish law, joining any international organization requires the decision of both the Prime Minister and the President. This underlines the significance of political unity and consultation within the country regarding matters of foreign relations, as decisions are critical in shaping Poland's international alliances, particularly its bilateral relationship with the United States. This situation underscores the complexities and diplomatic considerations Poland must navigate as it seeks to assert its position on the global stage.
